I've long savored Pappa e Ciccia's sweets (they were a front-runner in Berlin's "New York cheesecake" craze) so imagine my excitement when I learned they were opening an organic ice cream shop next door. I was too slow to alert you to the free ice cream last Wednesday, but let me assure you, a scoop of raspberry and basil is well worth the euro it will cost you.
Pappa e Ciccia, Schwedter Str. 18 (map)
Tel + 49 30 616 20801
The ice cream shop is open weekdays 1pm-10pm, weekends noon-10pm.
Now this IS news!
Things seem to be going topsy-turvey up in Berlin, whereas down here we are having trouble even finding people who know that 'organic' is not something to fear/dangerous/rubbish/a trick of the trade etc.
So happy for you! And thanks for the address. Hope it comes in handy soon!
Take care,
Jo

Jo, does that mean you'll be in Berlin soon? I'm up for ice cream anytime!
& Kristina, tell me if the other flavors are good. I'm dying to try the strawberry and mint next.

Hello again,
Unfortunately not, too pregnant... But next year hopefully.
Strawberry + mint, yummy!

Jo, really?! What delightful news -- when are you due?

Really! Due in just seven to eight weeks. Time flies...! Looks like it's a girl, too!

Jo, such happy happy news. I would love to post you a little something when she arrives -- will you let me have your address in an email (there's a link in the left column)?
